PS1020 - How to find out what model of stylus you've got?

I bought (again, remotely) a PS1020 in apparently decent condition. On the cart it says Shure M85G, but how do I tell the model of the stylus please? Picture attached.

Also, as referenced here - https://hifiaudio.altervista.org/i-miei-preferiti/:

a)
on these turntables the 45 rpm adapter must be left inserted in the special compartment in the frame while listening
- I don't have it on my PS1020, would an adapter from another turntable work? Here's a picture, it's an old one from an old Soviet turntable.

b)
as well as the presence of the original mat with radial reliefs
- the mat on my PS1020 is different - is that a problem?

c)
the superimposed metal ring
- this was earlier translated on the site as "metal headband" which was somewhat confusing. Again, I don't have such a ring on my PS1020 - should I order one? What metal is best to use?

Thanks in advance

For some reason I can't post more than 2 pictures in one message... Here comes a picture of the mat.

Actually, this is the Soviet table I was talking about - not mine, but the same model - https://www.avito.ru/moskva/audio_i_vid ... oc_sharing - and the mat there has those radial reliefs… Worth changing?

Great on the stylus. And, yes, the mat was upside down… That’s embarrassing :))) Thank you, Massimo. It does have the space for the metal ring but there’s no ring.
